Why metal works in the mountains
- Sheds snow and ice instead of holding it
- High wind resistance when it’s fastened correctly
- Can last decades longer than asphalt shingles
- Noncombustible, a plus for wooded lots
- A good fit for low-pitch roofs, porches and outbuildings
Standing seam vs. exposed fastener
Standing seam uses concealed fasteners and raised seams. It’s the premium choice for homes: clean lines, fewer places for water to get in and very little maintenance.
Exposed-fastener panels screw through the face of the metal. They cost less and work well on barns, garages, sheds and cabins, but the screws need checking and replacing over time.
Colors and trim
Metal comes in a wide range of colors. We’ll bring samples so you can see them against your siding and in the light at your house.
